Can your sleeping position affect your heart health, brain health, and stroke risk? For adults over 60, the way you sleep may be more important than you think.
In this video, Dr. Cale Smith explains 5 common sleeping positions that older adults should know about, including back sleeping, stomach sleeping, right-side sleeping, excessive pillow elevation, and the tightly curled fetal position. We’ll explore how sleep position, circulation, breathing, blood pressure, neck alignment, and overnight brain health** can be connected.
You’ll discover why morning stroke risk can be higher during certain hours, how the cardiovascular system changes with age, and why healthy sleep habits matter for senior heart health and stroke prevention.
We also look at left-side sleeping, elevated back sleeping, proper pillow support, airway health, sleep apnea, nighttime oxygen levels, and the glymphatic system — the brain’s natural waste-clearance process during sleep.
If you’re over 60 and interested in healthy aging, senior health, heart health, cardiovascular health, brain health, stroke prevention, better sleep, sleep quality, sleep apnea, blood pressure, circulation, and longevity, this video gives you practical information to think about and discuss with your healthcare professional.
Small changes to your sleep routine and sleep position may help you create a healthier sleep environment and support better overnight recovery.
Watch until the end and tell us in the comments: Which sleeping position do you use most often?
